For just one system, building = world and kernel by hand is much easier than using freebsd-update-build. Yes, I mean building updates based on tracking stable/12 (a rolling? = release, sort of). For just one system, buildworld seems OK, but for more systems it may be = a burden. Have you also considered pkgbase?
